    Anybody know how to get to nyc by paying only one toll over the gothals?
    I was once shown a way to get over and only pay the 1 toll.

    You can get into most of NYC from the GWB. But the "free" bridge between Manhattan & Queens is a traffic nightmare.

    Better off paying to get to Long Island, and charging the customer the extra expense.

    I went to Red Hook once, and that was enough for me. That being said, I took the easiest and fastest (definitely not the cheapest) way out since my dm hated NYC as much as I did. :biggrin_255:
